Standing rib roast tonight with a rub consisting of thyme, rosemary, garlic, smoked salt, pepper, lemon zest, and ginger. Sides are smashed potatoes fried in an herb-infused oil with onions and red pepper flakes and roasted asparagus with duqqa. Tomorrow night will be a traditional Christmas dinner with ham and the like.

The last few years we've been doing brunch. Had several different quiches, scotch eggs, hash brown casserole, french toast casserole, fruit salad, sausage balls, crepes, in general just way too much damn food.
